Prosecuting, Sergeant Richard Opoku Aniagyei said that the victim’s mother, a trader and resident of Manhean reported the case to the police.
Sgt Aniagyei said Hoeyi was also a resident of Nsakina, and the victim’s teacher.
He said on Saturday, May 8, the girl accompanied the mother to a pharmacy shop to buy cocoa butter cream.
Sgt Aniagyei said while the victim was on her way to get the cream from another source, as the pharmacy had run out of stock, she met Hoeyi, who was driving his car.

Prosecution said when the victim returned home, her mother questioned her about what had happened, but she declined to disclose any information.
Sgt Aniagyei said when her mother took the victim to hospital, she narrated her ordeal.
Following a threat from her mother to take her to their hometown to continue her education, the victim left the house to stay with a friend.
Prosecution said the mother reported the matter to the Domestic Violence Victims Support Unit and a police medical form was issued and victim was taken to the hospital for examination and treatment.
According to Sgt Aniagyei, the medical form was endorsed after examination and treatment, resulting in the arrest of Hoeyi. – GNA
